ActionScript 3.0 :: Array Not Returning Text Fields

Nov 21, 2010

The code is coming up with [Text Object] instead of what the text actually is (and if I actually add .text it calls up absolutely nothing). This functions perfectly well when using the standard array without the sub-properties and {} brackets (so I think the problem might be somewhere in the push statements). I am not understanding what the error is (probably something blatantly simple, my only guess being some sort of conversion problem).

ActionScript 3.0 :: Variable Instance Names - Fill Text Fields With Text That Have In An Array

May 21, 2011

Alright so lets say I have a number of movieclips or text fields or something with instance names test1, test2, test3 and so forth. Now say I want to fill these text fields with text that I have in an array and I want to do this with a loop, how do I do this? What I'm really asking is if there is a way to use a variable in an instance name if you catch my drift.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Create Text Fields With Text From An Array?

Mar 19, 2010

I've got a nice bit of code that allows me to dynamically add a dynamic text box to the stage, add text to it and control it's position and formatting:
 
var txt:TextField = new TextField();txt.text= "feisty";txt.x=50;txt.y=50;var format:TextFormat = new TextFormat();format.color = 0x2F55EA;format.font = "Arial";format.size = 18;txt.setTextFormat(format);stage.addChild(txt);
 
This just makes the word "feisty" appear on the movie.The problem is that I want to create many words with different positions,different starting times, make them go away and then have different words appear. It would look like this:[URL]The swf at the link was created with After Effects and the file size is 1.5 MB - too big for a web banner. I was told I could recreate the whole thing dynamically with actionscript and get file size way down. I've been working through various tutorials with little luck.
 
I have a list of 100 words, how do I turn the code above into a cloud of words that appear one or two at a time?  I assume I will put the words into an array, but then how do I get the code above to cycle through the array and pick up the position and format attributes?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash Using An Array W/ Dynamic Text Fields

Apr 20, 2012

I have five individual movie clips that dynamically load names from five variables in a txt file (these all fade in and out and overlap the transition of the next). Every time the movie loops, I'd like the movie clips to display the next item in the list until every name has been listed - is this doable? Is there a better way to do this from within flash instead of loading the content dynamically?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Gathering Existing Dynamic Text Fields Into An Array?

Feb 1, 2010

I'd like to gather (at run-time) all dynamic text fields on the stage and push them into an array. Then I can load an xml of data and populate each dynamic text field in the array with a matching value in the xml file.

So basically I'm writing one class file I'd like to be used on many different swf files, each of which can have one or 20+ dynamic text fields. I'd like the swf to loop through each text dynamic field, throw each into an array and then grab an xml item with a matching name as that text field and set its textfield.text value from it. So actually if the dynamic text fields are just in a for loop then I guess I wouldn't even need to place them in an array, just not sure how to identify the dynamic text fields on the stage.

ActionScript 1/2 :: Scrolling Multiple Text Fields Via 1 Scroll Bar - Removing Commas From Being Displayed In Array List?

Oct 7, 2009

I have been scripting this flash profile card which pulls data from multiple XML files. The problem i am having is when it comes down to pulling this 1 set of information which is accessing the attributes of an array of specific XML nodes on display after the first item it inputs a comma before each item. 
 
My code:
---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---
xmlData = new XML ();xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;xmlData.load ("../xml profiles/test.xml");
---------------------------------------------------------------------- ----
function loadXML (loaded){if (loaded){  xmlNode = this.firstChild;

[code].....

This is just a draft version of the layout i used to pull up fake data... to show the commas.Lastly i am wondering if it is possible to control the 3 text fields using 1 scroll bar or would i be better off learning how to create columns in 1 text field to display these lists.

Actionscript 3 :: Returning Array In A Class?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Returning An Array After For Loop Has Finished?

Jun 15, 2009

I'm wondering how I can return the value of an array that is being created inside a for loop?I have created a class that is using ZendAmf to grab page titles out of a database. After the connection is made I put the page titles into an array with a for loop. I would like the class to return the value of the completed array.

I have tried using a public array variable and a getter, but I'm never going to get the correct value until the for loop finishes. So how would I go about getting the array variable after the loop has completed?I'd rather not set a listener that listens for a boolean inside the for loop.

Flash - For Loop Only Returning Last Item In Array?

Nov 25, 2009

In a nutshell, I have a for loop updating a dynamic text element but it seems to iterate so fast that only the last item in the loop is updating the text. I'd like the dynamic text element to be updated with EACH item in the loop, not just the last.I have a single frame movie where I create a simple array of strings from an external text file:

_global.i = 0;
_global.numplaces = 0;
_global.PlacesArray = new Array();

[code]....

The traces work fine and show that the for loop is iterating properly. However the place.htmlText dynamic text in a movie nested one level down (for tweening purposes) that I'd like the loop to update is only updating with the last item in the array.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Returning The Position Of An Element In An Array?

May 11, 2011

I've got an array (called "thearray") that I've just sorted alphabetically using thearray.sort.I then wanted to check if a certain item (myItem) was in the array, so I did a loop:

for (var w=0; w<thearray.length; w++){
if (thearray[w]==myItem) trace("this item has been found in the array")

Now, I want to know if it's possible to return the new position number of the item in the array - ie finding the element number of myItem (as in arrayelement[0], arrayelement[1], arrayelement[2]-- the number in the [ ].)

ActionScript 2.0 :: Sorting Array With Multiple Fields?

Sep 25, 2004

I have an array that gets filled with values from a database and I want to sort things in Flash using the sortOn() function. I'm trying to create an array with a number of fields, like this example from the Help-files:

Code:
var my_array:Array = new Array();
my_array.push({password: "Bob", age:29});[code]....

I need a bit more fields and if I put all of these in one line, it gets kinda lengthy.I tried something like

Code:
var my_array:Array = new Array();
for (i=0; i<10; i++) {
my_array.push ( {prop1: "value_1_"+i} );[code]....

but this apparently doesn't work. Is there another way of doing this?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Changing Text In Dynamically Created Text Fields By Timer?

What I want to happen is, for each text field that is created, i want the numbers to constantly change based on a timer (they'll all change at the same time, but to random numbers).

Right now, the code below changes the numbers, but keeps stacking the new numbers on top of the old...

ActionScript 2.0 :: Change Dynamic Text On Not Yet Visible Text Fields?

Nov 4, 2009

Basically I want to get the text fields in my Flash translated. To achieve this, I have the translations in a XML file and all text fields are dynamic. I read the XML (dependent on a language calling parameter from the HTML) and set the text fields like:

this["text_1"].text = "Hello";

The "text_1" and "Hello" are of course retrieved from the XML and I use variables in my code.

Now to the problem: I can successfully set the text field, that is visible in the Frame 1 (where my script is executed), but setting text fields that appear later give me an error. Translated it means something like Null Pointer not accessible. So I assume, that the this["text_x"] can not be found.

Is there a way to access it without copying the script into each text element? I have also thought about events, e.g. when the text is shown the first time and I do the translation then (would have to cache the XML at startup then to save time), but didn't find anything.
